Barcelona has started the technical work of its new Joint Commission with L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, with the first meeting held at [Barcelona City Council](https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/en/?ref=barna.news). The move marks the first formal step in a joint effort to improve coordination between the two neighbouring cities.

The meeting followed the collaboration protocol signed on 13 March. That protocol sets out plans to strengthen joint work on major urban transformation and planning projects, while also improving how services are coordinated across both councils.

Laia Claverol, Barcelona City Council's municipal manager, and Antoni Rivera, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat's municipal manager, led the session. Managerial and technical staff from both councils also took part, in line with the protocol's next steps.

Barcelona and L'Hospitalet form a closely linked urban, social and economic area within the metropolitan region. Their shared city fabric means they face many of the same challenges, and the Joint Commission is meant to support a more coordinated approach to those issues.

The protocol also provides for specific working groups, which will turn political agreements into practical action. For readers following wider city policy, see our coverage of [community](https://barna.news/tag/community/) and [sport](https://barna.news/tag/sport/) developments across Barcelona.
